      I'm so sorry. They combined it without your consent? I would say go back and ask to uncombine them especially since you didn't ask for that OR if this just happened in your last retie, you can uncombine them yourself. It will take a lot of effort & patience. Hopefully they only combined a few and not a lot.

But after seeing this, I will braid and band. I will also not go swimming with it loose 😢 this video was just for me. I too have been going rouge and doing my own thang.

    Your locs look good. I fortunately found a good loctician. She has combined at 10 of my locs, which is frustrating, but I don’t want to do my own reties. I had stopped braiding and banding at 7-8 months, but now I’m back to braiding and banding due to slippage.

I've had a few not so positive experiences with locticians at the start of my journey so I retied my hair myself for maybe 8 months.

    I don’t know who your dealing with but if who does your loc retie should say something thing to you and should assess your hair because that is just good customer service and will ensure your patronage. When they give you the ex sample like u got run because it’s just a matter of time before something happens and makes u feel comfortable.

    I'm 5 days into my loc journey, and I have no intention of seeing a loctician. Humans have been locking their hair for thousands of years, and I doubt that the ancient people of India had locticians. But getting back to the 21st Century, I can use RUclips University and learn how to maintain my hair myself.

    • @astoldbymeso
